This vinyl picket fence in Midlothian gives a classic home a clean, white boundary around its backyard. The homeowner wanted a traditional look that fit the house and would stay easy to care for. We install vinyl fencing across Midlothian, and the white picket remains one of the most traditional styles we offer.
Midlothian Vinyl Picket Fence Project Highlights
A Classic White Picket Fence for the Backyard
The fence wraps the backyard and runs past a paver patio edged with river rock. Houses in this neighborhood sit close together, and a picket style clearly marks the yard without closing it off. Neighbors and the tree line stay in view through the gaps. The white picket fence also suits the siding and brick of the home, so it feels like part of the property.
Following the Slope Toward the Woods
The back of the yard slopes gently toward the woods. Instead of leaving uneven gaps under the rails, we set each section of the vinyl picket fence to follow the grade, so the bottom rail stays close to the ground. The pickets still line up cleanly from one section to the next, even where the line turns along the tree line.
A Crossbuck Gate and a Tie-In at the House
Near the house, a matching walk gate with a crossbuck brace gives easy access to the yard, and it carries the same pointed pickets as the rest of the white picket fence. At the back corner, the fence ties into the home right beside the brick foundation and downspout. That leaves no gap at the corner for a pet to slip through.
Vinyl That Skips the Paint Brush
We used vinyl fencing because it won’t rot, split or need staining the way wood does. Care is simple. One manufacturer, VEKA, recommends in its vinyl fence care guide washing from the top down with a garden hose and a mild cleaner at least once a year. Our vinyl fence maintenance tips walk through the rest of the basics.
Pointed Pickets and a Bright White Finish
This vinyl picket fence follows a traditional design, with pointed tops, evenly spaced pickets and a bright white finish. The even spacing keeps the run looking tidy along its full length, even where it turns corners and follows the slope. Vinyl is never painted, so there is nothing to peel or touch up.
